Have you ever wondered how someone can use paint and values to create a shiny metal object? If you have, this three day workshop is for you.

In this workshop you will discover how to use small puzzle-like pieces to form a shiny metal object. Learn how to trick the eye of the viewer and the fun of creating colorful reflections in metal. We will work from an in class set up and/or photos.

Class is limited to 6 students allowing for lots of one on one time with me.

"I really like the way you share information, tell us what colors you are using and why, and help us with composition and values. I really like the TV display (for demos) - we can all see what you are doing."

"Great variety of activities - demo; opportunity to try subject and technique; personal instruction; discussion of a subject; examples; handouts; go with interests of students; great TV screen so everyone can see; follow up on your website; books (in library); good teacher availability; small class size."

Do you like to paint landscapes or city scenes, but hesitate to add figures to your scenes? Adding a figure to your scene can really make it come alive.

This 3 day workshop will explore how to create simple, gestural figures that bring life and scale to a scene. In this workshop you will practice painting simple figures with minimal facial features, learn about figure perspective, and make them feel natural in a landscape or city scene.
